Production with machines which are one or two clamping force

classes smaller
The mould size and not the maximum clamping force is often the key
to optimum machine dimensioning. An exact calculation of the required
clamping force pays off. The tie-bar-less machine has a smaller footprint and
requires less investment costs, particularly with:

Minimum mould wear

Outstanding energy efficiency

The patented ENGEL Flex-Link system and standard platen parallelism setting ensure unbeatable platen parallelism.

Low friction, closing pressure lock-in and electrohydraulic variable capacity pumps ensure low energy consumption. And the optional drive system,
the ENGEL ecodrive, raises energy efficiency to
a new level hitherto only achieved by fully electric
machines.

Moulds with multiple cavities

Non-full-surface moulded parts
Multiple colour applications
Technical parts and thick-wall injection moulding
With its tie-bar-less advantages the ENGEL victory is the optimum machine for
technical and thick-walled parts.

Tie-bar-less. Modular. ENGEL.

The tie-bar-less ENGEL victory covers the clamping force range from 280 to 5000
kN. In fact, the range of applications is considerably broader, as the moulded part to be produced is not limited by the clamping force but by the platen size.
Large mould fixing platens and the wide delivery chute of the ENGEL victory guarantee low machine investments, because with the ENGEL victory a machine with
a lower clamping force will do the job just as well. Particularly when using large and
bulky moulds, substantially lower investments are required for machines.

cost-effective injection moulding production.

The most innovative clamping unit

of the past decades.
A symbiosis of flexibility, precision and customer orientation.

High-precision mould parallelism

Platen parallelism and thus mould wear in the
tie-bar-less ENGEL victory is not left to the sum of
manufacturing tolerances of the single components.
Each tie-bar-less clamping unit is precisely set prior
to delivery using the standard, highly sensitive platen
parallelism setting. Subsequent fine adjustment is,
of course, possible and guarantees a long service
life of machine and moulds. During clamping force
build-up the platen parallelism automatically adjusts
to mould parallelism. This unique advantage is implemented through the patented Flex-Link system.

Heavy moulds

Heavy moulds are no problem for the tie-bar-less

clamping unit. The high-precision platen parallelism is
adequately ensured by the pre-tension of the patented Flex-Link system and support through the massive C frame. And by using additional guide shoes to
support the movable mould halves, mould weight
can be increased virtually without limit.

Large mould dimensions

The standard version of the ENGEL victory tie-barless clamping unit already offers greater freedom for
the mould than other clamping units. Wider mould fixing platens and greater platen spacing are available
as options if necessary. The mould area can thus be
set to the next size with the same clamping force.

Outstanding energy efficiency

The basic concept of the tie-bar-less machine already guarantees maximum energy savings. In particularly the bearing-mounted precision guide rails, the
absence of tie-bar friction and the closing pressure
lock-in significantly increase energy-efficiency. A wide
range of configurations for energy saving are possible in combination with different hydraulic drives
from EHV to ecodrive.

Excellent injection process control

Efficient plasticizing drive

The hydraulic ENGEL injection units score extra points

with reliable control of the injection moulding process.
Compared to conventional injection controllers, the
clamped system of injection plungers included in the
standard version with the highly sensitive electronic controllers reacts extremely quickly to disturbing influences
and any process-related changes. This guarantees
excellent injection moulded parts and a high degree of reproduction accuracy. Control accuracy is
even further improved by the electro-hydraulic variable
capacity pumps included in the standard version.

The plasticizing drive is powered by a hydro-motor. These hydro-motors are available in three sizes for each injection unit. Besides the standard hydro-motor, a motor
for higher speeds or higher torques is available as an
option in each case. This enables the drive unit to be
tuned with the respective plasticizing unit and moulding
material to be processed, guaranteeing a high level
of energy efficiency. With the selection of the corresponding hydraulic versions, the plasticizing drive can
be operated parallel to the mould movements.

A servo-valve is available as an option (standard feature

in the ecodrive option) for further optimisation of extremely low injection speeds.

Accumulator for high injection performance

Extremely high injection speeds of up to 600 mm/s
are necessary to achieve the required quality of moulded
parts with extremely thin walls. The required injection
performance is provided by optional hydraulic accumulators. The injection process is controlled by a servo-valve.

Tuned plasticizing unit

A range of barrel and screw configurations is available
for optimal tuning of plasticizing with the respective application. The barrel is mounted on the injection
unit by means of a quick coupling.
The plasticizing unit is pressed torque-free against the
mould; the required force can be set on the machine
control unit.

Drive unit.

Energy efciency.

Efcient ENGEL hydraulics Control of all machine movements:

fast, reproducible and energy-efcient
ENGEL is a pioneer in energy-efficient hydraulic concepts. Even more important than efficiency of
the hydraulic drive components is the basic hydraulic concept of an injection moulding machine. Since
the introduction of the tie-bar-less injection moulding machine ENGEL has had a concept that guarantees in itself very low energy requirements for the central hydraulic system of the respective machine.
Besides the particularly energy-efficient basic machine concept, for many years ENGEL has also been
committed to highly efficient hydraulic drive units. ENGEL already set the standard in energy efficiency
and control quality over 15 years ago with the replacement of PQ hydraulics by smart pump hydraulics
(EHV). And with the new optional ecodrive servohydraulics ENGEL is now combining the advantages
of hydraulics with those of servodrives. ecodrive offers even better control accuracy and, most of
all, sets a new milestone in energy efficiency.

Smart pump hydraulics (EHV)

ENGEL standard hydraulics are based on electro-hydraulic variable capacity pumps. Compared to an old PQ variable capacity
pump, an EHV variable capacity pump offers not only a higher
level of efficiency of the pump itself, it requires no additional flow
control valve for closed loop speed control. The closed loop
speed control is activated directly in the pump with a higher degree of accuracy and without the usual pressure or energy loss.
This results in energy savings of approx. 20%.

Evolution of hydraulic drive technology

Whether easily removed moulded parts with a low shot weight,

complex moulds with parallel movements or high injection
speeds are required. A sophisticated hydraulic version is
available for every requirement profile.

All movements and pressures for the individual machine movements are, of course, closed-loop regulated hydraulically. But
where it makes sense holding clamping and nozzle contact
force the required pressure is hydraulically maintained and thus
the holding energy is reduced to zero. With increasing cycle
time, the energy savings grow to a respectable level.

energy ef

of hydraulic machines
ENGEL ecodrive. The system:
ENGEL ecodrive in the ENGEL victory consists of a servomotor with fixed displacement pump (instead of a permanently running asynchronous motor with variable capacity pump). Energy efficiency depends on various criteria,
of which two should be highlighted here:

Energy efficiency

Ideal for clean room applications

No control valves in the central drive unit for

speed and pressure control

ecodrive boosts energy efficiency by radical reduction of the energy dissipation common to conventional hydraulic machines. The portion of supplied energy that is not applied as movement energy for individual
machine movements is transformed into heat. The majority of this heat is transferred to the hydraulic oil and via the
oil cooler to the external cooling water processing plant.

The ENGEL victory is extremely suitable for clean rooms

alone due to the tie-bar-less technology and elimination
of friction. An additional advantage is offered by ecodrive.
The servomotors used do not have motor cooling fans,
and thus there is no air turbulence resulting in a higher
particle concentration.

Each control valve causes energy losses due to the pressure

differential. ENGEL ecodrive regulates speed and pressure
without control valves, permitting a substantial gain in efficiency. The speed is controlled via the fixed displacement pump
speed without additional pressure and energy loss. A unique
feature is the closed loop pressure control by means of completely new control algorithms directly via the speed of the
pump and no longer via a pressure control valve.

No drive operation when no machine

operation
When at a standstill, ecodrive eliminates idling and purging
energy consumption as occurs in conventional hydraulic systems. An idle pump consumes no energy. This is substantially supported by the energy-efficient machine concept (e.g.
closing pressure lock-in)

The noiseless machine.

The elimination of permanently running hydraulic pumps
considerably reduces noises emissions from the ENGEL victory with ecodrive. The only thing that is missing in energy-efficient production with the ENGEL ecodrive is thus excessive noise.

On-board hydraulics

ecodrive offers all the prerequisites for energy-efficient

and space-saving production with hydraulic core
pulls. For parallel movements of the ejector, core pulls
and nozzle, ecodrive can also have two completely independent drive units.

Machine and robot sequence at a glance

The freely configurable machine sequence supports simple, individual configuration of sequences throughout the
injection moulding cycle. Even complex programme
sequences including robot can be easily and reliably created, visualised and modified using graphical
tools.
The machine sequence can be set in advance on the PC
with the supplied virtual machine. Faster mould changing, less risk of mould damage and ideal training opportunities for operators are among the major benefits.

Quality monitoring
A wide range of modules for monitoring the quality of
moulded parts are available as a standard or option.

ENGEL CC200 control unit

Intuitive. ENGEL. Operation.

Both the direct graphic monitoring of all key parameters

of the injection moulding process and the recording and
statistical evaluation of the same are displayed in a simple and clear manner. This data can be collected and
evaluated at a central point via an interface to external
production planning and monitoring systems.

Energy efficiency with ENGEL ecograph

The control unit of the ENGEL victory is the perfect interface between operator and machine. Besides the clearly
configured basic functions, the CC200 has two further impressive features which assist the operator in coping with
todays injection moulding production requirements.

20

The standard ENGEL victory control unit incorporates ENGEL ecograph, an energy analysis tool. This tool enables
the operator to check the machines energy consumption
and to optimise the energy efficiency of the injection
moulding sequence.

21

Robot. Freedom. ENGEL.

The injection moulding machine is in many cases only one element of the overall, often complex production cell. Robot and automation components perform a variety of tasks. These
range from insert-placing and take-off actions at the injection mould, including mounting and
checking operations, to packaging of the finished product.
The aspect of cost-effectiveness is usually founded in the overall concept and not its individual
components. And this is precisely where the tie-bar-less ENGEL victory has a critical edge.
Integrated automation
Tie-bar-less machine technology is an ideal prerequisite for machine-integrated automation.
The robot always moves within a slightly widened machine safety gate. After short horizontal
movements it places the parts onto a conveyor belt directly adjacent to the mould fixing
platens. Smaller footprints, lower system heights, smaller robot sizes and the elimination of
additional safety guarding for each robot secure lower investment costs and better utilisation of the production hall.

Sprue take-off
The ENGEL victory offers optimum conditions for reliable and fast sprue take-off by the
sprue picker. Sprue ejection chutes are available as an option for the non-operator side
safety gate.

Automation solutions from ENGEL

Smaller footprint
Because there are no tie-bars in the way, the robot can
move in and out of the mould horizontally when the
safety gate is open. The automation can thus often be
built closer to the machine, which saves space.

Robot simple to operate

The new wizard for the robot and integration into the
machine control unit make it possible!

It goes without saying that ENGEL also supplies automation solutions, according to the motto All from a single source. The ENGEL viper and ENGEL ER-USP robot series are ideal
for use in combination with the ENGEL victory. Ready automation packages are available for
simple take-off tasks. Special advantages are offered by machine control unit operation. In
particular, the creation of a common mould data set brings substantial benefits to the user.

Low ceiling height

Production can take place without problems and risk
of collision in low halls or beneath crane runways, because the robot does not need to move out of the
mould in an upward direction.

Shorter production cycle

The cycle time is shortened due to the direct, horizontal in- and outward movements of the robot, particularly in the case of complex automations.

The right combination of units for each application

When large shot weights, small footprint, low system heights or full freedom for automation
are called for, ENGEL combimelt is the right solution for every application.

Moulds for multiple-colour applications require a relatively low clamping

force for the mould size. This is because the sum of the projected surfaces of the cavities is usually very small.

The right technology for every part

The ENGEL victory optimally supports all multi-colour mould concepts: rotary tables, index
plates, slide technology, co-injection or transfer of parts by a robot.

Particularly here, the generously dimensioned and barrier-free mould area offers
more flexibility in machine dimensioning and mould changing. It is especially
important to take tie-bar-less technology into account in the concept phase of a
project. This can save time and costs.
